Lifestyle Retirement Annuity and Preservations Funds.

A retirement annuity fund is a scheme which is set up to provide retirement and death benefits to members of the public who voluntarily choose to become members and agree to pay regular contributions (or single once off payments) to finance these benefits.

A preservation fund serves the same purpose, but the fund does not receive contributions and receives translocation benefits. For example, a preservation fund may accept a payment transferred from an employer sponsored pension or provident fund which arise as a result of a person’s termination of service with that employer.

The Lifestyle Retirement Annuity and Preservation Funds suite includes a retirement annuity fund as well as both a preservation pension fund and a preservation provident fund.

These funds are registered with the Registrar of Pension Funds (the Financial Sector Conduct Authority), as shown below:

Two Pot Retirement System

National Treasury has proposed a new retirement savings system named the ‘Two-Pot Retirement System’. This system aims to allow any member of a pension/provident fund, a retirement annuity, or a preservation fund, to access a portion of their savings when needed, while helping to facilitate improved retirement savings outcomes.

The Two-Pot legislation is still in draft, with discussions currently underway between National Treasury and various industry bodies regarding many aspects of the regulation.

As draft legislation is subject to change, fundamental aspects of the Two-Pot Retirement System may be amended in the final version.

The proposed implementation date for the Two-Pot Retirement System has been announced as 1 September 2024.

Liberty will endeavour to keep all its stakeholders informed of the latest updates, given the importance and impact of the new system on retirement savings and retirement outcomes.
